Not surprised to see Knowsley MP Anneliese Midgley get chief whip. She’s known as a brilliant organiser and fixer. Wrote this about her background and life a few weeks ago for anyone interested.

The Merseyside MP helping to power Andy Burnham's rise
Knowsley MP Anneliese Midgley was one of the key figures behind the successful Makerfield campaign - but what is her background and what role could she play in a Burnham administration?

It remains hilarious that his cult will still insist, to this day, that Donald Trump is an "expert deal maker."

£5 million for Nigel Farage. £450,000 bill for the taxpayer. He could fund this by-election himself, but instead he's chosen to make the public pay for his vanity project. That money could provide free school meals for around 1,000 children for a year. Priorities.

Farage should easily win a by-election in Clacton, which he already won with a large majority in 2024 when polls were much less favourable for Reform than they are now. A complete waste of public money, designed solely to serve himself

Absolutely extraordinary story from the Sunday Times that is going to be very hard for Farage to deflect. "Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal" www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

If Trump uses tactical nukes on Iran, Russia will not hesitate to use them on Ukraine, and that could open the door to an all-out nuclear exchange. Donald Trump has to be removed from office before he can use the nuclear codes to slaughter BILLIONS of human beings.

When Tory Nick Timothy saw Ramadan prayers in Trafalgar Square, he said it was an "act of domination". He was praised by Tommy Robinson, and Kemi Badenoch asked if these events "fit" with British culture. Do the Tories have a problem with Muslims? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/do-t...

Just a few months ago, America threatened Canada, a few weeks ago ago, it was Greenland. They’ve called our soldiers useless, they’ve said the UK has no free speech (the USA is the one silencing people), it’s been a non-stop barrage of bullying. Trump ruined the ‘special relationship’. #UK #Media

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

On Tony Blair’s intervention… 1) Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he… 2) It’s not “America asking”. It’s Trump raging… 3) Seriously now… STFU.

This is nothing like Iraq where the UK are concerned because thank God the government seem to have learned the lessons of Tony Blairs mad involvement. Even if Tony Blair has not.

President Trump’s administration spent the past year dismissing Europeans as pathetic and irrelevant. Now, as he wages a war alongside Israel to force regime change in Iran, he wants Europe to cheer him on.

Trump team bashed Europe for a year. Now he wants support in war on Iran.
European leaders are ramping up their response to the crisis spreading outside Iran but remain wary of a conflict that could have untold ramifications.
